Well my car decided he didn't want to run anymore as of last week. He has a broken tensioner pully, bent valves and who the hell knows what else as of yet. I pulled the valve cover and 3 rockers fell off and 3 more are very loose. Pulled the plugs and 2 & 4 were fine but 1 is blackend and 3 is white. So if anyone has a head that I could buy from them please let me know. It is for a 91 Laser RS---non-turbo. At this time I do not have a vehicle and it really sucks because I have no way to get to work and I don't have the $$$ to go out and buy another car. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

have you thought of just buying a new rocker and lifter set. it would probably be cheaper than getting a new head and if the 1G is like the 2G you won't have to take the head off to replace them. You can probably find a write somewhere at dsm.org.

Hope this helps

the cause of the rockers falling off is because of bent valves... and its cheeper to get a used head from junkyard or dsm trader then getting new valves put in...

Well the car has been torn apart and here is a list of what i need:
motor mounts, water pump, starter, head gasket set, timing belt, balance shaft belt, coil pack, header, timing belt tensioner, and a good working head. Everyone one of the intake valves is bent, there is black carbon buildup on the pistons and all this happened because the timing belt tensioner broke so if anyone has any of the above parts please let me know.

Thanks
